While many of the things that each hunter does will come from experience and learning in the field these deer hunting tips will give you a place to start learning and enjoying your experience.

Deer Hunting Tips – Scouting

One of the most basic deer hunting tips is to learn to scout. No two locations or times will be the same when you hunt. By scouting the area during the day before hunting season hits you will be able to locate where the deer are and also get a good idea on their movement patterns. While you are scouting make sure to keep an eye out for scrapes. Scrapes are one way to find the larger bucks.

Shooting Practice Is One Of The Many Given Deer Hunting Tips

Another very basic but also important deer hunting tip is to consistently practice your shooting. No matter what type of weapon you choose to use, whether it is a firearm, muzzleloader or a bow, the more practice you have the better shot you will be. Practicing will also help you to acquire the confidence needed to take down a buck with the perfect shot.

One Of My Most Important Deer Hunting Tips – Start Out Early

Deer are most active at sunrise and also at sunset. For this reason alone one of the most important deer hunting tipsis to get started on your deer hunting early in the day. By getting in place before the deer start moving you will allow yourself some much needed time to get settled into your post so you are ready when the deer start to move for the day.

Deer Hunting Tips That Vital – Silence

Deer have very sensitive hearing and any noise, no matter how small, can scare them away so one of the best deer hunting tips is to Stay Quiet. It is important to stay quiet and still when you are deer hunting. If you move or make any noise there is a good chance the deer will get scared and run away, leaving you without a deer to shoot at.

Visibility is Important

No matter what location you choose to set up your post at you need to make sure you can get a visual on all sides and directions. Being able to see on all sides is vitally important to being able to get off a clear and direct shot. If you find that tree branches are in your way then use a small handsaw to remove them prior to hunting day.

With these few hunting tips you are well on your way to not only having a good hunting trip but also to learning some new deer hunting tips and tricks will make hunting a success. Stay safe and enjoy the sport.

Last Day White Tail Buck – Success Again!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

2009 1231KB0015 225x300 Last Day White Tail Buck Success Again!I just completed a 12 hr night shift 6pm to 6am and finished it up on new years eve day. My wife is a new hunter and wanted to go out  for the last day.

Well that morning is was about -2 and we head for our latter stands, I spook again deer going to the stand and think my hunt is over.10 mins later a doe fawn show up and I didn’t hesitate (last day of the season, still two tags to fill) 20 yard shot and the deer goes down within site.

Called the wife on the radio and tell her to stay and hunt for a couple hours. Well the morning seemed to go well, of course the wife didn’t see anything. As the day went on I was getting tired but knew it was my wife’s last chance at a deer, of course we are party hunting.

That afternoon we were in our stands around 2:30. Well it was snowing on & off  and around 4pm a doe comes to the field down wind, she gets nervous and leaves the field.

At 4:30 a fawn shows and browses the field of wild grass, at 4:55 nice buck comes to the field gets to 50 yards and no shot big maple tree in the way, 2 does come to the field. Now I have 4 deer down wind of me.

Thank God for scent free products. The does get nervous and leave the field as quick as they entered. The buck comes to 40 yards and looks back at the does, I think he’s going to leave also, now or never I say and look for a opening through the maple tree. Ping! off goes my arrow, the buck jumps and run out of the field.

2009 1231KB0029 300x225 Last Day White Tail Buck Success Again!I call the wife and look at my watch 5:05pm, 10 mins of legal season, talk about cutting the season close. We gave the buck 20 mins and then I got down out of our stands, checked the shot area and found that my arrow had made a pass-through and there was a good blood trail. 80 yards later there he was. 190 Lbs. and 0 fat.

I think that shooting at 3D target tournaments helped me guess the distance quick on this buck.
